From 72b57bef7b0e7e3bae7ef607a05435d8fa115c31 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Julien TINNES Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2009 15:26:58 +0200 Subject: ipv4: make ip_append_data() handle NULL routing table commit 788d908f2879a17e5f80924f3da2e23f1034482d upstream. Add a check in ip_append_data() for NULL *rtp to prevent future bugs in callers from being exploitable. Signed-off-by: Julien Tinnes Signed-off-by: Tavis Ormandy Acked-by: David S.
